Annex II, concentration tables to War Department concentration plan - Rainbow no. 5, 1941.
No full textGeneral notes to tables of annex II: Mobilization under this plan will be in accordance with current Protective Mobilization Plan with augmentations (to include Army's Second Aviation Objective), except as indicated in Tables of this Annex, and in Section II - Annex III - Logistics. 2. Concentration and shipment overseas of filler replacements or of active elements of reinforcements for overseas garrisons shown in Tables 1 to 4, inclusive, may be initiated prior to M-Day. 3. Strengths contemplated in column 5 of the Tables are those prescribed in current Tables of Organization, except in the case of National Guard Infantry Divisions and certain colored infantry regiments. For planning purposes it is thus assumed that units will be concentrated at full strength but it must be understood that active units will be concentrated at the strengths existing when concentration is initiated. In the case of units which have left the Corps Area of Origin before reaching mobilization strength, the dispatch of the necessary filler replacements will be expedited. Commanders of the Corps Areas of Origin will make direct arrangements with the Army or Corps Area Commanders concerned to receive and forward these replacements. 4. Commanders of the Corps Areas of Origin will arrange to provide each regiment, separate battalion and other similar unit with appropriate medical detachments prior to departure from home station. 5. Except as otherwise indicated in this Plan and its Annexes, each unit will take with it to concentration area all the equipment and transportation with which the unit is equipped for field duty. 6. Concentration of air units will be made, as far as practicable, by air, using the equipment available to the units being concentrated. All movements of aviation by air will be made under the supervision of the Chief of the Army Air Force. Movements of air units or elements thereof that move by means other than flying will be controlled by appropriate corps area commanders as for ground troops. 7. For National Guard units the data in Column 3 of these tables are based upon the assumption that these units will be in Federal Service on M-Day. If National Guard units are not in Federal Service on M-Day, Divisions will be available on 30-M and smaller units on 10-M. 8. Composition of detachments mot covered by War Department Tables of Organization is shown in Enclosure No. 1 hereto. 9. Those units shown in Sections 1 and 2, Tables 7 and Tables 8 and 9 whose permanent station is outside the Defense Command to which assigned will be concentrated only on War Department orders. A second table of contents is located on page 156 of the document

German and American combined daily order of battle, 25 September, 1918 [to] 11 November, 1918 including the Meuse-Argonne offensive.
No full textThe 1st and 2nd American Armies held a continuous sector of the Western Front of about 115 kilometers between September 25th and the armistice. The 1st Army's front extended from Vienne-le-Chateau to Fresnes-en-Woevre where the 2nd Army joined and carried the line to Port-sur-Seille, just east of the Moselle River. During this entire period the 1st Army was engaged in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. The 2nd Army held the Woevre line and conducted only minor operations. The combined German and American Daily Order of Battle with additional tabulations presents the revised data for this period on the battle order of the sectors of the two armies. All information about the American Order of Battle has been prepared by The Operations Section, General Staff, G. H. Q

Allied Translator and Interpreter Section interrogation reports, North Korean Forces – research supplement issue no. 1, 19 October 1950.
No full textThis report summarizes significant information concerning North Korean Forces obtained from on-the-spot interrogation of North Korean prisoners of war and deserters and Republic of Korea refugees by highly-trained U.S. Army and Air Force interrogators operating in the Korean battle area. Recipients are cautioned that this report is based primarily on prisoner of war interrogations and information contained herein is not completely evaluated. Subsequent interrogations will undoubtedly bring to light additional data upon which revision and correction of this material will have to be made in future interrogation reports of this continuous series. Research Supplements to Interrogation Reports, North Korean Forces, of which this report is the first, represent consolidations of information derived from the cumulative interrogation of prisoners of war and refugees, augmented by translations of captured documents and other parallel sources. Immediately upon capture, North Korean prisoners of war are interrogated briefly by capturing units to obtain front-line intelligence. They are then transported to United Nations' prisoner of war enclosures where they received a detailed interrogation by Advanced ATIS interrogation teams. The resulting individual reports are then delivered by air courier to ATIS Headquarters in TOKYO for collation and dissemination
